A while ago, Alia Bhatt‘s sister Shaheen Bhatt took to Instagram to open up about her battle with depression since the age of 13. Recently, during an interaction with leading daily DNA, when Alia was asked about, she shared:

“All those who are close to her know about it. It’s not as if she has never spoken about it before. She has, to her loved ones. Apart from depression, my sister suffers from insomnia. So we’ve spent many sleepless nights talking.”

She also added:

“Though my sister and I share a very honest relationship, nothing that I can say or do can help her situation. So yes, she has to constantly work herself out of her depression. Whenever she seeks me for companionship, I am there. Otherwise she is a strong person and she has to deal with it herself. No matter how much I love her, I can’t help her get over the depression. She has to do it on her own.”
